Editorial policy.

Our editorial standard is clarity, cultural context, and honest limitations.

Distinguishing sources and interpretation

We distinguish primary texts, historical scholarship, popular practice, and our own modern explanations. A traditional association is presented as a tradition, not as a scientific finding.

Named methods and boundaries

When a system differs by school—such as the Bagua map sequence or the Life Gua year boundary—we identify the method in use. We do not imply that related systems such as BaZi and Life Gua are interchangeable.

Responsible language

We avoid fear-based predictions, guaranteed outcomes, and claims that a symbolic object can replace medical care, security measures, legal advice, or financial planning.

Corrections and updates

Articles display dates and link to the methodology and source list. Substantive corrections should change the updated date and be submitted through the current sitemap and IndexNow process.
